A MOBILE play scheme for disabled children and adults has been awarded £50,000 by the Big Lottery Fund.

The Oxfordshire Playbus scheme will use the cash to buy a new sensory bus.

Its last vehicle broke down more than a year ago and is now beyond repair.

A month ago the scheme lost a public vote for £50,000 after being featured on ITV’s People’s Millions show.

The playbus is one of 15 schemes to be given cash in the UK to mark the 15th anniversary of the National Lottery.
